A new page on the site

This new page is about the project undertaken by the Association to create a contemporary version of Saint Cuthbert's Banner. It tells the story of the project and a little about those involved and includes photographs from the 20th March 2012 when the Banner was welcomed into the Cathedral for the first time. It also has a link to a YouTube clip which has more photographs in a slide show.

The new Banner is now used extensively within the Cathedral in a great many services and, weather permitting, is processed from the Market Place in Durham to the Cathedral during the annual Association walk that takes place on the closest Saturday to 20th March, Saint Cuthbert's Day.

News

The Walk on 17 March 2018 saw, for the first time in six years, the weather turning against us. Walkers came prepared for the worst and were right to do so. Huge thanks to those that supported despite the snow and sleet.

Somewhat belatedly the details of past Writers Award winners and Hotspur Award winners have now been updated to include the 2017 winners. The lists can be accessed from the respective pages under the Awards tab.
